>>1037597>My intention is to ride varying distances from day to dayCould you be any LESS specific? Christ. What order of magnitude are we talking about - 1 mile a day, 10 miles, 100 miles? Will you be riding for fun or is this strictly a "get shit done" bicycle?

I'd look at a Surly Troll. The frame is tough as nails. Clearance for wider tires that will be more comfortable and less prone to flats. They set up single-speed really nicely with the rear-facing track forks. Disc brakes or rim brakes. All the mounting points for racks you could ever want.
Throw a Wald 139 basket on the front and a 520 basket on the rear and it'll be a great grocery-getter.
